The highest trekking in the Catalan Pyrenees! We will crown, among others, the Pica d’Estats (3,143 meters), the roof of Catalonia. We will enjoy the most beautiful corners of the High Pyrenees through an itinerary very well protected by its mountain refuges.
We will start in the town of Tavascan to gradually introduce ourselves to what we will discover as one of the most inhospitable and incredible places in the Pyrenees. We will dedicate a first day of introduction and then enjoy 5 complete routes. Every day we will have the option of reaching a summit. The queen stage will undoubtedly be the one that will take us from the Pinet refuge on the French side to the Vallferrera, on the Catalan side, passing through the mythical Pica d’ Stats. The journey will pass through different shelters, where we will sleep comfortably and recharge our batteries with their delicious menus.
